After the Clippers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, at the Clippers' external summary meeting, Clippers general manager Frank affirmed Harden's great contribution to the team this season. At the same time, it was emphasized that renewal of Harden is the primary issue facing the team during the offseason. At the same time, Frank also vaguely expressed the team's management's attitude of respecting Harden's personal choices, and said that the team will try its best to strengthen the team's shortcomings without increasing the salary luxury tax.
There are differences within the Clippers' management on the issue of renewing Harden. It is generally believed that Harden, who is already 35 years old, no longer has the ability to have a maximum salary, so the Clippers management has tried to contact Harden's team and gave a suggestion of $75 million for two years. Hopefully Harden's contract next season can be synchronized with Leonard's contract time. In this way, the team will have more flexible operation space in the future. At present, Harden's team has not given any definite opinions. Compared with Harden's performance this season, the Clippers' contract renewal conditions are indeed a bit low. But it seems reasonable compared to Harden's 35-year-old age.
When both sides were in an embarrassing situation, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. According to Sham Sharanya, a well-known American NBA reporter, the Mavericks, which has already won the No. 1 pick, are full of confidence in the team's No. 1 pick, and have great expectations for the team's future plans. The team management hopes to go all out to compete for the championship in the next three years, and hopes to build a super strong team with both offense and defense, which is both offense and defense, around the core lineups of Davis, Irving, Flag, Clay, and Gafford. Harrison, general manager of the team, believes that the team urgently needs to sign a starting core point guard. The team's core Irving's cruciate ligament injury will take 8-12 months to recover. This is indeed a huge test for the Mavericks. The team is in urgent need of an experienced plug-and-play mature point guard to inspire Davis and a host of quality power forwards.
According to the American media, the Mavericks general manager Harrison has tried to start contacting Harden's agent team. Sharania said: "The Mavericks and Harden are both very interested in each other. General Manager Harrison and Harden's agent Troy Payne have had two conversations."
Although Harden re-entered the All-Star this season and played the best form after leaving the Nets, the reality of the 35-year-old is in front of him, and Harden has to carefully consider it. He has to balance and choose between renewal and winning the championship. At this time, Harden had a player option of $36.35 million. Faced with the different opinions of the Clippers management and the 2-year, $75 million option, Harden and her agent team seemed to be disappointed.
At this time, the Mavericks tend to give a 3-year offer of $100 million. This contract can be said to be relatively fair to the 35-year-old Harden. The two parties have already discussed this contract of intention and hope to reach a consensus. The Mavericks' pursuit of Harden was also a decision made after careful consideration by the management. Even if Irving returns from injury, Harden and Irving's top backcourt combination is enough to make the Mavericks a super threat to the league. With the Mavericks' top forward team, Harden's championship may not be far away.
The Mavericks' technically-oriented agreement is enough to sign Harden. Irving has a $43 million player option. As long as Irving refuses to execute the contract and becomes a free agent, the Mavericks have all the conditions to sign Harden. Then the team used Bird terms to renew Owen's contract. Once Harden accepts the Mavericks contract, the Mavericks will be a win-win situation for Harden. The current free agent trading market has not opened, and Harden needs to make a decision before June 29.
Harden and the Mavericks still have enough time to consider. Everything is possible. It is optimistic that Harden will accept the Mavericks' contract to join the Mavericks' ranks for the championship. In the future, fans may see Harden wearing the Mavericks' jersey galloping on the field of chasing the championship. At that time, the Mavericks will become the home court for Chinese fans. Who will still look at the stingy Clippers
